Craftsman

A burly dwarf brings her hammer down on a glowing hunk of steel, launching a shower of sparks into the air. The air resonates with the sound of metal impacting metal, while the bright, hot piece of steel in her tongs begins to take shape. An elf threads a needle with an impossibly thin metallic wire, preparing to set the stitches into what looks to be leather armor, but made of dragon's hide. Once satisfied with the measurements, he proceeds with a flurry of dexterous needlework. A gnome with an intricate set of goggles examines the stock for her latest work, a portable ballista. She examines the gearing and loading crank, ensures the tension on the bowstring, and scans the bolt rail for imperfections. She smiles, for she knows her work is without flaw.
Craftsmen are virtuoso artisans and genius inventors. Not merely content merely to create masterwork pieces of weapons and armor, they invent and engineer ingenious devices and singularly deadly weapons.

Master of Craft

Artisans of all types are an integral part of every culture: buildings must be erected, pots must be set to the kiln, tools must be forged. Despite their pervasiveness, master craftsmen are still as rare as they are prized. These artisans, creators, and inventors can smith items of mythic quality, and can solve most any problem simply by using the right tool and the appropriate amount of force. Secret of Steel
Adventuring craftsmen come in many varieties, but nearly all leverage their advanced knowledge of metallurgy, smelting, and construction to forge arms and armor rarely seen, even by other adventurers. The smiths test their schematics and designs themselves, building prototypes and experimental gear that can later be refined into mass-production items.

Creating a Craftsman

When you create your craftsman, the most important thing to consider is your crafting expertise. Though all craftsmen of adventuring stock can stitch leather armor, forge weapons, and tinker with magic items, only those who dedicate themselves to a single craft can attain legendary works. Each type of craftsman, from the practical to the wildly eccentric, have their place, but no craftsman can specialize in everything. Moreover, few craftsmen are self-taught. Most learn the finer points of their craft under the tutelage of a master artisan (whether or not their master was a craftsman, in the conventional sense.) Did you study under a master, and if so, what drove you to apprentice underneath them? Lastly, consider how you view your work. Are you pragmatic, viewing your creations as tools to serve a purpose? Are you artistic, striving to craft pieces of unrivalled beauty and perfection? Or are you experimental, tinkering and building with wild abandon to break new ground and innovate on established norms? QUICK BUILD
You can make a craftsman quickly by following these suggestions. Make Strength or Dexterity your highest ability, followed by Intelligence. Next, select Athletics and Investigation as your skills.

CRAFTSMAN'S TOOLS

As a craftsman, you carry a set of craftsman’s
tools, a combined toolkit which covers a broad
range of applications. You can use a set of
craftsman’s tools for any ability check you would
make with any set of artisan’s tools. A set of
craftsman’s tools costs 75 gp.

class features:
Exotic Proficiencies
Starting at 1st level, you gain proficiency in exotic weapons and exotic armor, which are unconventional, yet effective items in which no other class gets proficiency. If a feature or effect grants proficiency with a weapon or suit of armor, it does not grant proficiency with exotic weapons or exotic armor, unless otherwise stated. Active Crafting
Also at 1st level, you can craft one item each day when you take a long rest, without losing the benefits of a long rest. You pay half the item’s gold piece cost in materials, up to 25 gp. If an item costs more than 25 gp in materials, you can finish the item by working on it for multiple days, spending 25 gp each day until the item is completed. As you gain levels in this class, your crafting speed increases, allowing you to spend more on materials for each day of crafting, as shown in the Active Crafting column of the Craftsman table. Items you craft using this feature are worth half their gold piece cost when sold. This means that you can sell an item to refund its cost in materials, but not to make a profit. Masterwork
At 2nd level, you begin to learn the deeper intricacies of weapon and armor craftsmanship. MASTERWORK EQUIPMENT
As a craftsman, you are capable of creating weapons and armor of the utmost quality; such creations are known as masterwork items. To create a masterwork version of an item, add 50 gp to the cost in materials you pay to craft the item. Masterwork weapons you create have a +1 bonus to attack rolls. A magic weapon that adds a bonus to your attack and damage rolls doesn’t add this bonus to attack rolls. Masterwork Properties

Properties	Craftsman level	Cost
Apprentice	2nd	—
Journeyman	5th	100gp
Master	11th	250gp
Legendary	17th	400gp

MASTERWORK PROPERTIES
Masterwork weapons and armor can be modified with masterwork properties, advanced modifications which transform them into truly unique weapons and armor. Masterwork properties are separated into 4 levels: Apprentice, Journeyman, Master, and Legendary. You can apply any number of Apprentice properties to a masterwork weapon, or three Apprentice properties to a masterwork suit of armor. Additionally, you can apply one Journeyman, one Master, and one Legendary property to each masterwork item. If you add a Master or Legendary property to an item, only you can use it. MODIFYING EQUIPMENT
Using the Active Crafting feature, you can modify a weapon or suit of armor when you take a long rest. This allows you to do the following:
Improving Equipment. You can make any nonmagical weapon or suit of armor masterwork for a cost of 50 gp in materials.
Adding Masterwork Properties. Adding masterwork properties of Journeymen level or higher requires a cost in gold pieces and also requires you to be of a high enough level in this class, as shown in the Masterwork Properties table. When you learn a new level of masterwork properties, you can apply a property from that level to a masterwork item at no cost. Check the Weapons Exceptions sidebar in Chapter 5 before adding masterwork properties to a weapon. Whenever you modify the properties of a masterwork weapon, you can change its damage type to bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage, if its damage was already one of these types.
Removing Properties. You can remove any properties of a masterwork item, including those a weapon had when you first created it. You can’t remove a property from an item that is a prerequisite for another of the item’s properties. If you replace a property of Journeyman level or higher with a property of the same level over the same long rest, you can do so without an additional cost in materials. CRAFTING ABILITY
Intelligence is the primary ability you use when crafting items. You use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for items which you craft.
Masterwork save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier Tool Belt
By 2nd level, you always have the right tool at hand. You can use your action to retrieve a piece of nonmagical gear from your belt, apron, pack, cart, or wherever you keep your tools, even if you didn’t have it in your inventory before. The item’s gold piece cost can be up to 50 gp. You can’t use this feature to produce a weapon, suit of armor, shield, or potion. An item retrieved this way becomes lost in your inventory and vanishes when you take a long rest. You can use this ability a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier and regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. Artisans’ Guild
At 3rd level, you join an Artisans’ Guild. Select one of the Guilds from those listed below; you gain the 3rd level ability of that guild. You gain an additional Guild ability at 7th, 10th, 14th and 18th level. Ability Score Improvement When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature. Extra Attack
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. Folded Steel
At 6th level, you discover or create new processes for making your masterwork gear even stronger than before. Masterwork weapons crafted or modified by you count as magical for the purposes of overcoming damage resistance and immunity. Eye for Quality
Starting at 9th level, you can cast the spell identify at will, without using a spell slot or spell components. Additionally, when you cast the spell, you also appraise the target item, learning its market value in gold pieces. Flawless Construction
Beginning at 13th level, masterwork items you create do not rust, pit, fray at the edges, or otherwise show signs of aging. Additionally, they have resistance to all damage. An effect which would destroy an item you have created only does so if it could destroy a magic item. Uncanny Tool Belt
By 15th level, you have a knack for finding the most useful things buried away in your cart. You can produce a single common or uncommon magic item from your tool belt. The item becomes lost in your inventory and vanishes when you finish a long rest. Once you use this ability, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest. Magnum Opus
At 20th level, you complete an object of unparalleled majesty. You work feverishly for a period of 30 days to create a single magic item of very rare or legendary rarity. This item is tied to your very soul: regardless of type, you are always considered attuned to it, and no other creature can attune to it while you are alive. This item does not count against your maximum number of attuned items, and you ignore all attunement requirements for the item. As long as you are on the same plane of existence as your item, you can call it to your hand or onto your body (as appropriate). You can only craft a Magnum Opus once.

DOWNTIME CRAFTING Any character can craft an item in their downtime, the craftsman is simply better at it. To craft an item, a character requires three things:

Materials. In most cases, the raw materials for an item can be obtained for half the item’s gold piece cost. This cost can fluctuate depending on the character's current circumstances, contacts, or access to materials.

Tools. You must have a set of appropriate artisan’s tools and proficiency in their use to craft an item. Occasionally, an item might call for an entire workshop or other special tools.

Time. The time required to craft an item is measured against its cost in materials. A character makes progress toward crafting an item equal to 5 gp for each day of downtime, completing their work when this amount exceeds the item’s cost in materials. As a craftsman, you work faster than a normal character, and make progress equal to 10 gp progress each day.

You can sell any item you craft during your downtime for its total gold piece cost. As such, if you run a shop or craft items during your downtime purely to make profit, you can make 5 gp per day, assuming you sell all of your items.

MASTERWORK PROPERTIES

Masterwork properties can be applied to any masterwork weapon or suit of armor, provided you can spare the time and gold cost required to apply it. Each property entry details the property’s level and the type of equipment it can be applied to. Unless otherwise noted, a piece of gear cannot have the same property more than once; for example, you cannot apply the Heavy property to a greatsword, or the Martial property to a longbow. Damage Steps
If a masterwork property increases or decreases a weapon’s damage, it is moved up and down one step on the following scale, down to a minimum of 1d4:
1d4 → 1d6 → 1d8 → 1d10 → 1d12 or 2d6
Further increases add a +1 bonus to the weapon’s damage roll. If the weapon being modified has 2 damage dice (such as a greatsword or a firearm), the scale is instead:
2d4 → 2d4 + 1 → 2d6 → 2d6 + 1 → 2d8 → 2d8 + 1 → 2d10 → 2d10 + 1 → 2d12

WEAPON PROPERTIES

The following masterwork weapon properties are organized by crafting level. If a masterwork property adds a weapon property which is new to this class, it includes that property in its description. Generally, Apprentice properties can be used to fashion nearly any type of simple, martial, or exotic weapon, though some weapons might require one Journeyman property as well. Master and Legendary properties, by contrast, are used almost exclusively by master craftsmen on their personal equipment. Masterwork properties applied to ranged weapons apply their effects to their ammunition, if applicable. Apprentice Weapon Properties

The Blaster property replaces the Firearm property in such settings. All rules which apply to firearms apply to blasters as well. For the purpose of applying masterwork properties, blasters count as ranged weapons with the Ammunition and Reload properties. You can also apply the Overheat and Variable properties listed below to blasters.

CHANGING WEAPON RANGES A ranged weapon’s long range is either three times its normal range or four times its normal range, depending on the type of projectile it fires. When a masterwork property changes a weapon’s normal range, change the long range by three or four times the amount, as appropriate to the weapon.

MODIFIED WEAPONS Once you modify a weapon’s properties, it may no longer resemble its original function or profile.

A creature is immune to this effect if it is immune to slashing damage, doesn't have or need a head, has legendary actions, or the GM decides that the creature is too big for its head to be cut off with this weapon. Such a creature instead takes an extra 6d8 slashing damage from the hit.

ARMOR PROPERTIES

The following armor properties are organized by crafting level.

subclass options:

ARTISANS’ GUILDS

All master craftsmen learn the basics of smithing, leatherworking, woodworking, and other necessary disciplines on the path to mastery, either on their own or under tutelage of another master artisan. However, as they hone their skills, they invariably find themselves drawn to gatherings of other likeminded craftsmen. These groups, formalized as Guilds, provide a means for craftsmen to compare notes and schematics, acquire resources, and provide a means for craftsmen to ply their trade.

Arcane Maesters’ Guild

While most seasoned spellcasters will enchant a handful of magic items over the course of their careers, artisans belonging to the Guild of Arcane Maesters seek to become true masters of magic item creation. They rightly take seriously the forging of such powerful relics: each creation must be a masterwork in its own right to contain the potent magic woven into them. Despite laboring for months or even years to perfect their creations, seasoned maesters are always seen to be laden with dozens of magic items, attuned to a handful of rings, and carrying a wand of magic missiles, just in case. MAGIC ITEM CRAFTING
When you join this guild at 3rd level, you unlock the secrets of crafting items infused with magical energy. The Magic Item Crafting sidebar details the magic items you can create, specifies the level you must have in this class to create each magic item, and shows the cost in materials an item will require. You can craft a magic item by spending multiple days working on it, as per the Active Crafting feature. From among those you can craft at 3rd level, you can craft 5 magic items. You can craft 3 from among those you can craft at 7th, 3 from among those at 10th, and 2 from among those you can craft at 14th. In the process of creating a new magic item, you can dismantle a magic item you have created in order to build a new one from the same category. APPRENTICE PROPERTY
Also at 3rd level, you learn to apply the following masterwork property to your equipment: ENCHANTED

You can use your action to attune to a magic item, and can end an attunement to an item as part of the action.

By 14th level, you can break the connection that binds you to your magic items and repurpose that magic to protect yourself. As a reaction when a creature you can see makes an attack against you or when you make a saving throw, you can end your attunement to one magic item. Until the start of your next turn, you gain a bonus to your Armor Class and saving throws equal to your Intelligence modifier. The total number of magic items you can attune to is reduced by 1 until you finish a short or long rest. Once you use this ability, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Calibarons’ Guild

The Calibarons know, better than most, that gunpowder is the single greatest invention ever created by mortals.

Forgeknight’s Guild

To a forgeknight, heat is not merely integral to forging, curing, and welding gear, it is a weapon in its own right, for the swing of a white-hot blade bites not only with steel, but with flame. A forgeknight carries the intensity of a forge with them, storing it in their armor and building it up in their weapons, before unleashing it in a scorching blast. PORTABLE FORGE
When you join this guild at 3rd level, you construct a portable forge which allows you to heat objects you are forging without a specially-constructed shop or foundry. When you gain this forge, you are assumed to have been working on it in your spare time, only bringing it to full functionality when you take this subclass. If your forge is ever lost or damaged, you can repair or replace it over the course of a long rest with 100 gp of materials. While you are carrying your furnace, you gain the following benefits:

The wall appears at the end of your turn. Instead of creating a straight or ringed wall of fire, the wall follows the path along the ground over which you moved on your turn, up to a distance of 60 feet. Once you use this ability, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Mechanauts’ Guild

For centuries, the pinnacle of mechanized vehicles was the apparatus of the crab, a singular device capable of exploring inhospitable environments, from the sea floor to lava-strewn volcanic fields. However, ambitious craftsmen from the Mechanauts’ Guild have drawn up designs for a new vehicle, mightier and more customizable than the old apparatus. This device is a walking tank, equipped with savage fists, scuttling legs, and climate control enhancements—a vehicle to dwarf all others, a true feat of engineering. MECHANAUT'S APPARATUS At 3rd level, you complete the frame of a Mechanaut's Apparatus, with ample room for upgrades and improvements. Its blueprints are based on the apparatus of the crab, but you can model your apparatus to appear as any beast or as a humanoid figure.
Apparatus Statistics. The statistics of your apparatus are given in the Mechanaut’s Apparatus statblock. The apparatus's armor class is based on your Intelligence modifier and its hit points is based on your craftsman level.
Customizing the Apparatus. Your apparatus comes with two installed masterwork melee weapons, which you can modify with masterwork properties or replace with different melee weapons when you finish a long rest. Your apparatus is always proficient with its installed weapons, and can use masterwork weapons with Master and Legendary properties.
Repairing the Apparatus. When your apparatus drops to 0 hit points, it can't move or act, but can be repaired. You can spend 1 minute restoring the apparatus's ability to move at half speed, which it loses if it takes damage again before it is repaired. You can repair your apparatus at the end of a short rest by spending Hit Dice, causing it to regain hit points as if it has taken a short rest. When you finish a long rest, you can repair your apparatus to full hit points. You are always considered to have enough material to repair your apparatus. If your apparatus is lost, you can build a new one for 400 gp.
Entering and Exiting the Apparatus. A creature that is not wearing armor can use half its movement to enter or exit the apparatus. While within the apparatus, a creature has total cover from effects originating outside of it. Only one Medium or Small creature can be in the apparatus at one time. While inside the apparatus, a creature takes half the damage the apparatus takes.
Piloting the Apparatus. Your apparatus acts on your turn, though it doesn't take actions unless you are piloting it. Any creature inside the apparatus can command it to move (no action required), but only you can use your action to pilot the apparatus, commanding it to take the Attack, Dash, Disengage, or Dodge action. When you command the apparatus to take the Attack action, the apparatus makes the same number of attacks you would make using the Attack action, and uses your Dexterity or Intelligence modifier (your choice) for its attack and damage rolls, as if you were making the attack. While you are outside the apparatus, you can command the apparatus to wait or follow you. While following, it moves on its turn to remain within 30 feet of you. COCKPIT UPGRADE
At 3rd level, you can customize your apparatus by upgrading its piloting compartment. Choose one of the following upgrades:
Comfortable Amenities. The interior of the apparatus is particularly cozy, perhaps even including a warm blanket and pillow. You can sleep while within the apparatus without ill effect.
Ejector Seat. This apparatus comes equipped with an emergency ejection system, allowing for quick escape. Exiting this apparatus costs no movement.
Loudspeaker. The apparatus comes equipped with a system that magnifies your voice up to three times as loud as normal. LIMB UPGRADE
By 7th level, you have redesigned your apparatus’s legs to achieve better mobility. Choose one of the following upgrades:
Arachnotron Legs. The apparatus can move up, down, and across vertical surfaces and ceilings, and it gains a climb speed equal to its movement speed.
Heavy Suspension. The apparatus’s jump distance triples, and it takes no damage from falling a distance of less than 100 feet.
Telescopic Frame. While no one is inside the apparatus, you can use your bonus action to command it to collapse down to Medium size or return to Large size. While reduced in this way, the apparatus cannot be entered. PASSENGER SEAT
Starting at 10th level, you have installed a second seat inside the cockpit. A character can’t pilot the apparatus or command it to move from this second seat, but they do benefit from total cover from outside effects and take half the damage taken by the apparatus. ATTACHMENT UPGRADE
Beginning at 14th level, you have installed an external attachment to your apparatus. Choose one of the upgrades below. Once you use the installed upgrade, you must finish a short or long rest before using it again.
Abjuration Generator. You have installed a magical shield generator on the outside of your apparatus. You can activate it as a bonus action, granting your apparatus temporary hit points equal to your craftsman level.
Flak Cannon. On the front of your apparatus, you have installed a single-shot shrapnel cannon, which you can fire at a creature you can see within 120 feet. This creature must make a Dexterity saving throw against your Masterwork save DC, taking 6d6 slashing damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success.
Rocket Engine. You can use your bonus action to light the apparatus’s installed rocket engine, propelling you up to 30 feet in a straight line in any direction you choose. If you make a melee attack immediately after this movement, the attack has advantage. This attack knocks the target prone or pushes the target up to 10 feet away from you (your choice) on a hit. LEGENDARY PROPERTY
At 18th level, you reach the peak of your craft. You learn the following Legendary masterwork property, which you can immediately apply to a masterwork weapon: PNEUMATIC
Legendary weapon property
Components Masterwork exotic melee weapon If this weapon is installed in a mechanaut’s apparatus and it deals more than one die of damage on a hit, whenever you roll damage, you can maximize one of the weapon’s damage dice instead of rolling it.

Thunderlords’ Guild

From the earliest days of life, storms (and particularly, lightning) have struck the creatures caught in them with awe and terror. The Thunderlords, by contrast, draw wild inspiration from the majesty of nature, and seek to, quite literally, capture lightning in a bottle. POWER CELL
Starting when you join this guild at 3rd level, you construct a lightning-generating power cell, which comes connected to a set of conduit gauntlets. When you gain these items, you are assumed to have been working on them in your spare time, only bringing them to full functionality when you take this subclass. If these pieces of equipment are lost or damaged, you can replace them over the course of a long rest with 100 gp of materials.
Charge Points. Your power cell gives you a number of charge points, which represent the electrical energy stored within your power cell. Your maximum number of charge points is equal to half your craftsman level, rounded up. You can spend these points to generate various electrical effects through your power cell. You regain all expended charge points when you finish a short or long rest.
Using Charge Points. Once per turn when you hit a creature with an attack that deals lightning damage, you can spend 1 or more charge points, up to a maximum of your proficiency bonus, to enhance the power of the attack. When you do so, choose one of the following effects:

Arc. Lightning arcs to nearby targets. Choose a number of creatures within 15 feet of the creatur you hit, up to the number of charge points expended, to make a Dexterity saving throw against your Masterwork save DC. On a failed save, a creature takes lightning damage equal to 1d6 + your Intelligence modifier.
Discharge. Deal an additional 1d6 lightning damage to the target for each charge point expended.
Jolt. The creature you hit cannot take reactions until the start of your next turn.

SHOCK
At 3rd level, while you are carrying your power cell and it has at least 1 unspent charge point, you gain the following benefits:

Weapons you wield can deal lightning damage instead of their normal damage type.
You know the cantrips shocking grasp and spare the dying. Intelligence is your spellcasting modifier for these spells.

LIGHTNING ROD
Starting at 7th level, while you’re carrying your power cell, you gain resistance to lightning damage. Additionally, whenever you take lightning damage from a hostile creature while wearing your gauntlets, you can regain 2 expended charge points as a reaction. STATIC CHARGE
Starting at 10th level, you can spend 10 minutes to store an electric charge in a weapon or suit of armor, or store up to 6 charges in different weapons and suits of armor during a short or long rest. Unexpended charges dissipate after 1 hour. A charged weapon or suit of armor gains the following appropriate property:
Charged Armor. When you take damage from a melee attack, you can use your reaction to expend the charge, dealing 1d8 lightning damage to the creature that struck you.
Charged Weapon. When you hit a creature with an attack using this weapon, you can expend the charge to deal an additional 1d6 lightning damage to the target. HIGH VOLTAGE
Starting at 14th level, while carrying your power cell, you can spend 5 charge points to cast the spell lightning bolt without using a spell slot or material components. This spell uses your Masterwork save DC. LEGENDARY PROPERTY At 18th level, you reach the peak of your craft. You learn the following Legendary masterwork property, which you can immediately apply to a masterwork weapon:
ELECTROSHOCK
Legendary weapon property
Components Masterwork exotic weapon When you hit a creature with this weapon, you can expend the weapon’s built-in power cell to shock the target, which must make a Constitution saving throw against your Masterwork save DC. On a failed save, the target is stunned until the end of your next turn. Once you use this property, you can’t use it again with this weapon until you finish a short or long rest.

Trappers' Guild

Craftsmen are no strangers to turrets, bombs, and clockwork mechanisms, but the craftsmen of the Trappers’ Guild raise this to a level of artistry. Given enough time and resources, a trapsmith can veritably blanket a room in dangerous implements, setting the stage to slay an intruder in a half-dozen unique ways. While the traps do the dirty work, the trapsmith is free to lounge about some distance away, enjoying a cold beverage and dreaming up new, dangerous designs. DANGER SENSE
Starting when you join this guild at 3rd level, your experience with traps gives you an edge when escaping danger. You have advantage on Dexterity saving throws against effects that you can see, such as traps and spells. To gain this benefit, you can’t be blinded, deafened, or incapacitated. TRAPS
You are an expert in designing ingenious and lethal traps. Starting at 3rd level, you can craft traps designed for quick deployment, which are detailed in the Traps section below. When you take the Attack action, you can forgo one or more of your attacks to deploy a trap. You can deploy a number of traps equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1), and regain all expended deployments when you finish a short or long rest. You can use an action to disarm and recover a trap that has not been triggered, which also restores one use of your trap deployments. BOOBY TRAP
Starting at 7th level, you take 1 minute to conceal one of your traps from an unsuspecting target. A creature can detect a concealed trap by using its action to make an Intelligence (Investigation) or Wisdom (Perception) check against your Masterwork save DC, or by having a passive Perception score higher than that DC. The first time this trap activates, it deals twice as many damage dice. AMBUSH MODIFICATION
Starting at 10th level, you can spend 10 minutes to modify a ranged weapon, or modify up to 6 ranged weapons during a short or long rest, each of which gains the following property: Hair-Trigger. This weapon has advantage on the first attack it makes using the Readied action. RAPID SETUP
At 14th level, as an action, you can deploy up to four traps. Once you use this ability, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest. LEGENDARY PROPERTY
At 18th level, you reach the peak of your craft. You learn the following Legendary masterwork property, which you can immediately apply to a masterwork weapon:
NET
Legendary weapon property
Components Masterwork exotic ranged weapon that doesn’t have the Firearm property When you hit a Large or smaller creature with this weapon’s projectile, it also deploys a net which automatically hits the creature. Traps
Craftsmen of the Trappers' Guild can build the following traps: BALLISTA TRAP
You load this compact ballista-like device in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you and aim it in a direction you choose. The trap triggers whenever a creature enters the area of a 5-foot wide, 30-foot long line extending from the front of the trap. When it triggers, the ballista fires automatically, making a ranged attack with a bonus equal to your Intelligence modifier + your proficiency bonus. On a hit, the target takes 2d8 piercing damage. MAN-TRAP
You affix this oversized hunting trap to the ground in an unoccupied 5-foot square area with 5 feet of you. When a creature of Small size or larger moves within the trap’s area, the trap clamps down on the creature’s legs. The creature must make a Dexterity saving throw against your Masterwork save DC or take 2d8 slashing damage and be trapped, unable to move. On a successful save, the creature takes half this slashing damage and is not trapped. The trapped creature or another creature within 5 feet of it can use its action to make a Strength check against your Masterwork save DC to free the trapped creature. Trapped creatures of Huge size and larger can move normally, ripping the trap from its mounting when they move. RAZOR WIRE
You deploy a tangle of razor-sharp wire into up to four unoccupied, contiguous 5-foot square areas you choose within 10 feet of you. Each of these areas becomes difficult terrain. When a creature moves into or within the area, it takes 2d4 piercing damage for every 5 feet it travels. Once deployed, the razor wire can’t be recovered. TRIGGER BOMB
You toss this explosive device to an unoccupied space with 30 feet. As a reaction when a creature moves within 5 feet of the bomb, you can press the detonator, causing the bomb to explode in a 15-foot diameter sphere. Each creature within that area must make a Dexterity saving throw against your Masterwork save DC, taking 2d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one. Flammable objects in this area that aren’t being worn or carried ignite.
